As a seasoned gamer and outdoor enthusiast who’s spent countless hours navigating digital terrains and surviving virtual elements, this Mountain Research x AFFXWRKS collaboration has truly piqued my interest. With a background of battling digital adversaries in survival games, I can appreciate the practicality and durability that these pieces promise for real-life adventures.
The collaboration between the Japanese outdoor brand, Mountain Research, and the creative team based in London, AFFXWRKS, has resulted in a collection designed to withstand various weather conditions.
The collaboration, dubbed as a “cross-generational creation reminiscent of a fierce mixed martial arts contest,” stemmed from a deep friendship spanning years between Taro Ray, brand director of AFFX, and Setsumasa Kobayashi, the founder of Mountain Research. This unique blend brings together the essence of both labels: Mountain Research’s love for the wilderness and AFFXWRKS’ appreciation for contemporary practicality.
The star item of the capsule is the wading jacket, which includes a hood with a flap that covers the face, multiple pockets scattered throughout, and distinctive symbols on the sleeves. Meanwhile, the coveralls share a similar storage design all over, with pockets of varying sizes adorning the entire shape, and the double long-sleeve t-shirt features a gray-green short-sleeved top worn over a black long-sleeved one in a single piece.
Completing the collection, we have the on-site bag, featuring practical handles and a spacious rectangle design. Additionally, there’s the hat, showcasing double symbolism on its surface.
As a devoted follower, I’m thrilled to announce that the much-anticipated collaboration between Mountain Research and AFFXWRKS is now up for grabs online! The price range varies from ¥15,070 JPY to ¥94,710 JPY. Don’t forget to check out the stunning collection showcased in the gallery above!
